#IndyRef 2 – How Social Media Reacted

Here we go again. Nicola Sturgeon dropped IndyRef 2 on the world yesterday. Social media went mad. Proper nuts. An average of 4 seconds between tweets mentioning it. Terrible graphics flew around the social web, meme generators crashed and some people got rather antsy about the whole thing. I decided to feature some tweets, complete with oh-so-funny pithy captions.

The YAYS!

Erm, yeah…

The one good thing about this referendum is that we wont be subjected to that old fart sayers or lovatt both totally discredited now.

It’s going to be fun watching this unfold. I’m going to leave my political views out of this, however, it was a fascinating social media study first time around, from false sentiment, to horrendous abuse, incredible debate and a heck of a lot of humour, it truly was the peoples’ forum. I’ll be watching closely and writing about it here.
